    I have to share another one by Sara Teasdale today.

    There will come soft rain and the smell of the ground,
    And swallows circling with their shimmering sound;

    And frogs in the pools singing at night,
    And wild plum trees in tremulous white;

    Robins will wear their feathery fire,
    Whistling their whims on a low fence-wire;

    And not one will know of the war, not one
    Will care at last when it is done.

    Not one would mind, neither bird nor tree,
    If mankind perished utterly;

    And Spring herself, when she woke at dawn
    Would scarcely know that we were gone.

    The thing I love about this one is that it reads like a pastoral poem, describing "soft rain" and birds, but it's about the end of humanity. Everyone is dead. The juxtaposition delights me.
